Glogster is a website that allows users to create online, interactive posters on a chosen topic. Users can upload photos, videos, text, audio, and other multimedia resources to their poster, and they can print it out or embed it in another website to share with others. It is a safe multimedia space which allows users to blend the lines between print and digital information. Glogster EDU is the educator's version of Glogster, providing the same ability to create multimedia posters, but specifically designed for classroom use.
